At a time when college athletics is under close scrutiny for its academicshortcomings, the Duke athletic program remains a shining example of what canbe accomplished with the proper perspective.

The commitment to excellence is obvious in all of Duke's sports programs.Duke is annually well represented on the ACC Honor Roll as, for 20 consecutiveyears, Duke has had the most student-athletes on the conference list, whichrecognizes athletes who compile at least a 3.0 grade point average for the year.For the 2006-07 academic year, the Duke men’s lacrosse team had 33 student-athletes selected for the Honor Roll.

The Duke administra-tion and the athletics de-partment both embrace thephilosophy that receivinga meaningful degree isthe primary goal of at-tending college. As a re-sult, Duke has compiledone of the nation's mostimpressive reputationsfor its dedication to ex-cellence on and off thefield.

Academic coordi-nator T.J. Gramsoversees the aca-demic progress of themen’s lacrosse pro-gram.

Why has Duke'sathletic program ex-celled on the aca-demic front?In part, the answer

lies in the type ofstudent-athletes recruited by Blue Devil

coaches and the admissions process itself. One of the chief criteria is the projectedability to graduate, and the coaches make that a priority in recruiting.

But in essence, it all goes back to commitment, to the desire to field a programthat features true student-athletes.

At Duke University, the institution remains confident that a distinguishedschool can play a significant role in intercollegiate athletics, while at the same timedeveloping young adults to lead our world into a new generation and beyond.

Student-athletes choosing Duke get the best of both worlds.

The BeginningWith over 60 years of lacrosse tradition at Duke

University, it is interesting to brush the dust off therecords and meander through the history of thegame in Durham.

While lacrosse is generally credited to the earlyAmerican Indians for its start in the U.S., the gamebecame a part of North Carolina history on April 7,1938, when Duke and North Carolina squared off inthe first game played in the state. With over 500curious fans lining the muddy field, the two teamsplayed a primitive and physical contest. Duke wonthat initial clash as player/coach Dick Lewis led hisBlue Devil team to a 2-1 victory over the Tar Heelsin Chapel Hill in what would be the start of a heatedrivalry.

One particular story from that first game helpstoday’s fans understand how far the game hasprogressed in the past 53 years. Duke goalie FrankPierce was unable to find shin guards prior to thegame, so in an effort to protect himself actually tiedcopies of the Archive, Duke’s undergraduate literarymonthly, to his legs. Pierce allowed only one goal,that coming in the game’s closing minutes.

Little did anyone realize at the time that this onecontest would be the foundation of a program nowmoving into its second half century. Duke would finishthat first season with a 2-5 record, the other victorybeing a 9-4 downing of North Carolina in Durham.Although the start was less than auspicious, theprogram was on its way.

Lewis was Duke’s first true lacrosse man, notonly organizing and coaching the team, but leadingthe squad to victory with his outstanding playingskills. He also set up a game that first season withnational power Syracuse.

One year later, Lewis took his fledgling BlueDevil team to a 7-1 record and the Dixie Leaguechampionship.

The Persons EraUpon Lewis’ graduation, Jack Persons took

over as head coach of the team, a position hewould hold for the next 26 seasons. While the BlueDevils had their ups and downs in the early years,it was Ray Brown who attracted the attention oflacrosse enthusiasts around the nation. He wasDuke’s first All-America in the sport in 1940 and1941, serving as captain both years.

With America coming out of the grips of WorldWar II in 1946, the Blue Devils pulled off one of thebiggest upsets that the game has known. Duketopped Maryland 12-4 in College Park to open theseason and went on to win both the DixieConference and Southern Lacrosse Associationchampionships. Tom Gorsuch, Jimmy Corrigan,Olin Gilbert and Walt Ross were all named to theSouth team for the North-South All-Star Game inBaltimore. Corrigan was the second highest scorerfor the South and third overall with three points in thegame.

Persons watched his 1951 team compile a 6-2record and finish the season as runner-up to Virginiafor the national title. During what is regarded as themost successful season in Duke lacrosse history, theBlue Devils rolled over such powerhouses as Navy,17-6, and Johns Hopkins, 9-7, in Durham. CharlesGilfillan was named first team All-America by theNational Lacrosse Coaches Association and BobBickel by the Baltimore News-Post. Rod Boyce,Fred Eisenbrandt and Bickel were second team All-America selections by the coaches, while future ACCCommissioner Gene Corrigan and Don Baffordearned honorable mention honors.

The following season saw continued success.Bickel was named first-team All-America as he ledDuke to a 7-3 record and a number six nationalranking. Duke continued to accumulate the All-America honors, as Don Bafford and Dan Peacockwere third team selections and Dick Bollinger andNolan Rogers earned third team honors in 1953.

When the Atlantic Coast Conference decided toaccept the sport in 1954, it was Duke University thatrolled to the first league title awarded. With Personsdirecting the Duke attack, the Blue Devils also wonthe Southern Lacrosse Association title and endedthe year at 7-1-1 and ranked third in the nation.Everett Anderson was named first team All-America,while Bollinger was second team and KirvanPierson and Ronald Wilson were honorable mention.They continued to carry momentum to the nextspring and ended 1955 ranked seventh in the landand were the ACC runners-up.

Lean times hit the program for the next 10seasons, as the Blue Devils tried to compete withthe quickly growing powers on the East Coast. Theteam went to club status in 1965 in an effort torebuild with freshman and varsity players joining

forces. Persons’ efforts paid off as he guided theteam to a 5-5 mark in 1966 before retiring from theworld of lacrosse.

The Corrie/Skinner EraWith Roy Skinner and Bruce Corrie taking over

as co-coaches in 1967, the Blue Devils romped to a7-4 mark and a runner-up spot in the ACC. CaptainWayne Guckenberger earned team Most ValuablePlayer honors, while honorable mention All-Americaselections Malcolm Travelstead and Art Tremainewere the offensive and defensive leaders during thatperiod. The duo continued to direct Duke for thenext four years. With the Blue Devils moving fromclub to full varsity status, the team was on its wayagain.

The offense was keyed during that time byexplosive scorers Steve Sachs and Chuck Clark.Sachs led the ACC in scoring in 1968 and 1969 andfinished his career with 101 goals and 108 assistsfor 209 points. The two finished their careers as co-captains in ’69 and led the team to a 6-5 record.They will be long remembered as the foundation ofthe rebirth of a proud tradition at Duke.

Skinner retired following the 1970 season andCorrie took over as the lone head coach in 1971.Honorable mention All-America and North-Southselection Jeff Board, along with 100-point scorer JimNeffgen, paced the Blue Devils. Captains JonBrodsky, Dennis Cassidy and Bill Pugh were theteam leaders during the 1970 and ’71 seasons.Midfielder Skip Walters was named MVP in 1971,as Duke progressed to an 8-6 record in 1972.

New names and faces continued to emerge andtwo that stood out were midfielders Mark Sammis andVal Curran. Both earned team MVP honorsseparately, and then shared the award as senior co-captains in 1974. The two would guide Duke to an 8-6 record and a number 18 ranking. Sammis was anhonorable mention All-America selection as a seniorand played in the North-South All-Star Game. Duringthis period, potent scorers Rob Rice and TomBrodsky led the Blue Devils, as both finished theircareers with over 100 points. Rice was namedhonorable mention All-America.

After leading the program for nine seasons,Corrie retired as head coach following the 1975season and later became the Director of Athletics atNorthwestern University.

The Espey/Cullen EraJohn Espey took over the Blue Devils prior to the

1976 campaign. Three seasons would pass beforeDuke would regain top-20 status with a 7-6 record andnumber 19 national ranking following the 1977 season.Joe Devlin was the focal point of that team and earnedhonorable mention All-America honors and wasselected All-South Atlantic and All-ACC.

The success built from there. A transfer by thename of Tony Cullen brought his explosive scoringtalent from New York to Durham and immediatelyled the Blue Devils to a 9-6 mark. Duke finished theseason ranked 15th in the nation, and Cullen led theACC in scoring and earned honorable mention All-America honors. Cullen continued to have successon the offensive side of the field, leading the nation inscoring and earning All-America honors for thesecond straight season. He closed out his career asa three-time All-America selection and a North-Southparticipant.

In 1978, Duke’s most prolific scorer arrived onthe Duke campus. Dave Hagler keyed the BlueDevil offense for three seasons and graduated in1982 as the Blue Devils’ career scoring leader with254 points. Following that 1982 season, Espeyretired and handed the reins to former player TonyCullen.

Duke’s 1985 team provided the nucleus ofsuccess for the next four seasons. The names fromthe ’85 team leap out of the record books. PeterRubin led the league in scoring as a freshman,while Ken Lukes was named honorable mention All-America and the team’s MVP, along with PeterOrtale. Jim Cabrera was selected All-ACC.

Duke contended for a berth in the NCAATournament over the following three years. Cullenguided the ’86 team to an 11-4 mark and at one point latein the year the team was ranked as high as ninth in thenation. Ortale and Lukes were All-ACC along withRubin, who was also named honorable mention All-America. With 11 victories, the Blue Devils had wonmore games in a season than any team in schoolhistory.

Duke matched the feat in 1987 as the team went11-3 and 2-1 in the ACC to finish as the leaguerunner-up for the first time in 20 years. The squadwas rated 13th in the nation, one place out of theNCAA Tournament. The team defeated Division IIIfinalist Ohio Wesleyan 13-6 before knocking off 1986NCAA finalist Virginia 15-12. A week later, Dukeupset defending NCAA champion North Carolina 10-9 in Durham as freshman Josh Dennis netted thewinning goal. Rubin and Cabrera were bothhonorable mention All-America selections and joinedMaurice Glavin and Lukes on the All-ACC squad.Glavin and Ortale represented Duke in the North-

South All-Star Game.In 1988, Duke went 8-4 on the season and

narrowly missed the NCAA Tournament. Nearly 50years to the day from the first lacrosse game in thestate, Duke upset undefeated Loyola (Md.) inovertime. Junior Paul Mahoney led the ACC inscoring that season and finished his career as athree-time All-ACC honoree. Dennis and MichaelConway earned honorable mention All-Americahonors. Conway also earned the ACC Senior MeritAward, given annually to the top scholar-athlete ateach league school.

Reaching New Heights Under Mike PresslerIn 1991 a new era began — an era led by head

coach Mike Pressler. In Pressler’s first season, theBlue Devils finished the season ranked 12th in thenation, a promising 7-5 overall and fell just one goalshort of knocking off eventual NCAA champion NorthCarolina in the ACC Tournament at Duke. During theseason, the Blue Devils defeated Loyola in Baltimore.Keith Melchionni ended his career as a three-time All-America selection. Joe Matassa and Gregg Schmalzjoined Melchionni as honorable mention All-Americasand Schmalz was named All-ACC.

The Pressler era continued into the 1992 season,as the Blue Devils accomplished feats unthinkabletwo years before. Duke finished the season ranked12th in the nation and earned the school’s first bid tothe NCAA Tournament. In the regular season, theBlue Devils beat Virginia in Charlottesville – Duke’sfirst win at UVa since 1950, and first ACC victorysince 1988. The Blue Devils also upset fourth-rankedLoyola, 10-5. Duke finished the season with a recordof 7-7 and was knocked out of NCAA Tournamentplay in the first round by a tough Maryland team.

In 1993, Pressler’s team had an outstandingseason, but barely missed the NCAA Tournamentfield on tough losses to Navy and Massachusetts.Duke began the season with a perfect 4-0 record,including an upset over seventh-ranked Maryland.The Blue Devils marked their first season with morethan seven wins since Duke finished 9-6 in 1989 andreached the highest national ranking in school history– a preseason rank of No. 8. The Blue Devils finishedthe season with a 9-5 record, while Duke watchedthe culmination of some of its most impressivecareers.

Goalkeeper Carter Hertzberg finished his careerwith an outstanding 582 saves with only 314 goalsagainst for a save percentage of .650. Hertzbergalso set an ACC Tournament record with 24 savesagainst North Carolina in the semifinals. In addition,faceoff specialist Andy Droney tallied his fourthseason with over 100 faceoffs won, bringing hiscareer total to 511 out of 928 for an impressive .551

percentage. Hertzberg, Droney and defensemanDerek Thomson were North-South selections, whilemidfielder Matt Ogelsby was named third team All-America. Thomson received honorable mention All-America honors, and Pressler was chosen as ahead coach for the North-South Game.

The 1994 season saw the Blue Devilsaccomplish many firsts for the program. The BlueDevils charted their first NCAA Tournament win,hosted an NCAA Tournament game for the first time,achieved the then-highest ranking in the history ofthe program (No.7), defeated a team ranked No.2 inthe nation and beat ACC rival Maryland at home forthe first time since 1954.

This season of firsts brought the Blue Devils a tripto the NCAA Quarterfinals where they lost to No. 1Syracuse, 12-11. Duke finished the year with arecord of 10-6 and a hunger to continue its successinto 1995. Three Blue Devils earned All-Americahonors, including juniors Scott Harrison and MattOgelsby, along with senior Joe Proud. In addition,Ken Fasanaro, Mike Clayton and Chris Affolter wereselected to play in the North-South Game.

That hunger did carry on, as Duke enjoyed anoutstanding season in 1995. Duke finished with a 12-4 record, and set a school mark for the highest ranking,No.4. Most notably, Duke won its first ever ACCTournament title and became the first number-four seedto win the ACC Championship by defeating NorthCarolina, 14-6, in the final in Chapel Hill.

Midfielder MattOgelsby earned first team All-America honors and wasselected 1995 ACC Player of the Year, the first inschool history.

After those seniors departed from the 1995Championship team, Duke was left with a ratheryoung squad in 1996.

Schmeisser Division I DefensivePlayer of the Year and Scott Diggs garnered ACCRookie of the Year honors – both the first awards oftheir kind at Duke.

Even though Duke fell in thefinals to Johns Hopkins, 9-8, the Blue Devils werevastly rewarded for their efforts. Pressler wasnamed the USILA National Coach of the Year whileDanowski and Aaron Fenton earned top honors attheir respective positions of attackman andgoalkeeper, respectively. Danowski led the countryin scoring with a school record 92 points on 50goals and 42 assists while Fenton paced the nationin goalkeeper rating.

The Blue Devils swept the ACC honors asPressler (Coach of the Year), Danowski (Player ofthe Year) and Greer (Rookie of the Year) claimed thehardware. The league’s top coaching honor markedthe third for Pressler in his 15 seasons on the Dukesideline. Duke finished unbeaten in regular seasonleague play — capped off by a 17-2 victory overVirginia in front of over 6,500 fans at KoskinenStadium in mid-April — for the first time before fallingto Maryland in the ACC Tournament finals.

Zash joined Danowski and Fenton on the All-America first unit while Peter Lamade and TonyMcDevitt received second team honors. Greer,who established a new NCAA single-season goalscoring record for freshmen with 57, was a thirdteam selection and Casey Carroll garnered anhonorable mention citation.

Duke’s run to the national title game was fueledby Danowski, Dan Flannery and Greer as the triocombined for 54 points over four games, thusbecoming the second most prolific scoring trio inNCAA Tournament history. Danowski, who hadtwo goals and four assists in the championshipgame, and Flannery were accompanied on theNCAA All-Tournament Team by Zash and Nick

2007 ACC Tournament Champions Nick O’Hara

O’Hara. A long stick midfielder, O’Hara wasinstrumental in Duke’s national semifinal victoryover Maryland, recording two goals and one assistin the 18-9 triumph.

The Blue Devils also established a newtournament record for scoring offense, piling up 60total goals in wins over Fairfield, Cornell andMaryland in addition to the loss to Hopkins.

After Duke won six of its first eight games tostart the 2006 season, the campaign wassuspended on March 31 and Pressler resigned fromhis post on April 7 following 16 years at the helm.Cassese was named the program’s interim headcoach on June 5, and John Danowski, who hadsuccessfully guided the Hofstra program to anNCAA record-tying 17 wins in 2006, was tabbed thehead coach to replace Pressler on July 21.

Danowski Era BeginsIn John Danowski, Duke found the perfect man

to assume the reigns of the Blue Devil program. Aformer national coach of the year choice who guidedHofstra to eight conference championships,Danowski guided Duke to 17 wins in his firstcampaign along with the ACC regular season andtournament crowns. In addition, the 2007 BlueDevils earned the program’s first number one seedin the NCAA Tournament but the storybook seasonended with a 12-11 loss to Johns Hopkins in thechampionship game.

In the postseason, Duke defeated Providence in

the opening round (18-3) before Danowski and Greercombined for 11 goals and nine assists one weeklater in the Blue Devils’ 19-11 triumph over NorthCarolina in the quarterfinals. Duke’s nationalsemifinal tilt against undefeated Cornell — whichdefeated the Blue Devils, 7-6, during the regularseason — offered plenty of highlights for the crowdof 52,004 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.Fueled by three goals by Greer in an 8-0 run, Dukeclaimed a 10-3 advantage midway through the thirdperiod only to see the Big Red counter with an 8-1spurt that knotted the game at 11-11 on BrianClayton’s goal with 17 seconds on the clock.

On the ensuing face-off, Duke rookie TerrenceMolinari won the draw and fed the ball to Lamade,who then found Greer in front of the net for the game-winning goal with three seconds remaining.

Duke’s offense thrived in 2007 as MattDanowski and Greer finished one-two nationally inscoring and formed the second-most prolific scoringduo in NCAA history with a combined 190 points.

The younger Danowski became the mostdecorated player in school history by earning ACCPlayer of the Year, ACC Tournament MVP andNational Player of the Year honors following animpressive 44-goal, 52-assist campaign. He wasjoined on the first team All-America squad byteammates Carroll, Greer and O’Hara. McDevitt(3rd team), Dan Loftus (3rd) and Brad Ross (HM)also received All-America recognition.

Three legends of Blue Devil men’s lacrosse have earned the prestigious honor of induction into the DukeSports Hall of Fame.

The first member of the lacrosse fraternity to be inducted into the Hall of Fame was Jack Persons. Personscoached at Duke for 45 years, guiding the Blue Devil lacrosse and swimming programs. Coaching the Dukelacrosse team from 1940-66, Persons’ 1954 squad won the inaugural ACC Championship. Persons graduatedfrom Duke in 1933, and was inducted into the Hall in 1986.

Duke Lacrosse saw its second member inducted into the Duke Sports Hall of Fame in 1991, when GeneCorrigan received the prestigious honor. A member of the 1951 Duke lacrosse team, Corrigan was well knownas a driving force in the shaping of intercollegiate athletics as both the Commissioner of the Atlantic CoastConference and as President of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Upon his graduation from Dukein 1952, Corrigan, a lacrosse All-America, also was inducted into the Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1993.

One of Corrigan’s teammates, Charles Gilfillan, also was inducted into the Duke Sports Hall of Fame.Gilfillan earned first team All-America honors in 1948 and 1951, along with a third team merit in 1950.
